A nine months old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pat McGowan died Wednesday, a
victim OF diphtheria. This is the second
case OF this dread disease in the Park
this winter, and the child being so young
it became an easy victim.
And still another death among the
little ones is recorded. This time in the
familyof w. IL. Hood. Bronchitis,
which is epidemic in the town, had been
troubling the child, and Thursday night
Group set in and with it came death. The
babe was just year old.
There have been seven deaths among
the little children in the Park since the
LIST Of February, and Undertaken Femme
more informs us that in the year
ending February LIST, not that many
deaths occurred in the town. The town
as rule is remarkably healthy, but the
late heavy snow storms and the sudden
changes in the weather have brought on
colds, which have resulted seriously to
many OF the younger population.
AT the Putnam group Of mines a few
men are at work pushing the tunnel
gradually into the hill. This property is
southeast OF and adjoining the DAILY mine
The work being done is entirely pros
pect work, and SO many good indications
that rich ore exists somewhere in the
group, that the owners intend to con-
tlnue the work and hasten the develop
ment OF the mine as fast as their means
VIII permit. Being so near the DAILY and
having the same ledge, it cannot but be-
come valuable property.
Inc Sonny Boy" group Of mines is
another group from which regular ship
ments will be made during the coming
summer. This property, consisting OF
four claims, is situated in the Snake
Creek district, and is owned by II.
